Jim was truly a great guy. He was quite a stubborn pain in the butt at times but with one of the biggest and most caring hearts. Unfortunately I couldn't be around to help out as much as I would have liked to due to certain circumstances but i will always consider him and his family as part of my own. He deeply touched the hearts of many and will truly be missed. R.I.P.
